It's official - the single A Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate is moving to Bradenton. With the Reds having left Sarasota, Bradenton is taking the place of Sarasota in the Florida State League.

Bucs' FSL purchase, move approved | pirates.com: News

McKechnie Field is an awesome place to see a game. Baseball fans in the area can now catch a game at this "old school" stadium more often now instead of just during spring training.

Thanks for posting that - I forgot to include that in my post about Bradenton. I love that vintage ballfield! And this will be a real shot in the arm to help spruce that area of town up, too - anything that brings more people to the area is a good thing!

That could not be more awesome. Planning a move from Cincinnati as we speak.... I was seriously bummed that the Reds moved spring training just a year before we made the decision to come down here. This will certainly make up for it!

I was responding to habajaba, who stated he was from Cincinnati. So I assumed he was a Red's fan

Being from Pittsburgh (here now 3 months) the single A team will probably be more entertaining and better than the Major (?) League team in Pittsburgh. More than likely more talented.
